Most churches are open. There may be restrictions or procedures that may make us feel uncomfortable, however, it is important to go to church if you are able.
It is so easy to stay home, especially after a long period of time when we did not get out. We need spiritual food and fellowship of other Christians.
So today, put away your fear and frustration with the rules and if you have no health problems, get ready and go to church. You will be blessed.
If you really cannot go physically, most churches are having virtual services. Make sure to watch and let the Lord speak to you.
God sent the Holy Spirit to give us the power to witness and win souls. With most events closed due to the coronavirus, we need to be more diligent to look for opportunities to witness.
It is not the command to the pastor in the church. It is not a time for ministries like SOS Events to forget about soul winning.
God expects all Christians to be a witness for Him. Are you using the power God gave you?
You may feel like the one who is about to fall into the hole, or you are helping to carry your friend, neighbor and fellow Christian. At this time of uncertainty and confusion, we need lift one another in prayer.
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; Ephesians 1:16
-I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men. 1 Timothy 2:1
In Disney’s movie Bambi, Thumper gives some good advice about how we speak to one another.
The Bible tells us many times to be careful of our words. The old expression, “sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” is not true.
Our words can wound, discourage and cause great harm or can encourage, lift up and make someone’s day a blessing. Let us ask God to help us speak kind and thoughtful words.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Pastors have burdens that are far above the average Christian. They need to be renewed by the Spirit everyday. Family, church congratulation, administration and many things that are heavy on their hearts, especially at this difficult time in the world.
Your Pastor has to make hard decisions about when to open doors of the church to everyone, should we sing, should we have class, what about the children. I need to protect my family.
Please lift your Pastor in prayer. And really bless him by asking what you can do to help. A kind word or a note might make the difference in his life today.
2 Chronicles 7:14 – If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This is a beautiful photo of freedom we have as Christians. The rainbow is God’s sign of His promises. The horses are running free under His protection.
We may feel a lack of freedom right now because of all the rules and restrictions due to this coronavirus, but we are free. We have an awesome God who we can communicate with no matter where we are and we are free.
Psalm 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
Revelation 15&16 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
